Sky 0 Share Posted November 16, 2018 A Call for Sensibility From the Office of the Lord Chancellor and Palatine of the Realm - Va Birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik, As children we have all made irrational decisions, none of which I will say were born from a want to be malicious, but are born from a desire of immediate satisfaction and that is simply how the minds of children work. Growing up, I was raised in a very strict environment under the ward of my grandfather Rhys var Ruthern, and even with the strong-handed guidance that he gave me, I still acted with some level of selfish desire to have fun during the years. As a child, I even overlooked things that, at first glance would seem weird but after a while melded into a strange melancholy feel that was assumed to be how the world worked. You would be hard pressed to find an individual that either, were unaware of Arberrang’s different way of life, or did not consider them to be not part of the Canonist ways. Many of my closest friends knew of their strange behaviors, it simply became assumed as something to expect within the grandiose scope of the Empire, which encompasses every man, woman, and child. Of course, there would be another culture, why wouldn’t there be? Is the thought process that many of us had, and it only solidified once Nordengrad joined the fray, as they are quite openly paganistic and were let under the banner of Man with ease. Years later, here we stand at the metaphorical precipice of everything that has led us down the dirt-covered path where we had once begun. The catalyst has occurred, the so-called dye has been cast but not all hope has been lost upon the people of Arberrang. We call to the denizens who wish for no violence to answer the call for sensibility, and to not be led into destruction by those who have themselves stared extinction in the eye countless times through these very same actions being done in this day and age. We acknowledge that leadership tends to lean towards tyranny when not held upright by the righteousness of GOD, thus we extend an offer. Denounce the leadership of Arberrang, those who brought the war to your doorstep, and pledge yourself to the Kingdom of Haense. You will not be harmed, your children will be kept safe, and your culture may have a chance to live on. Think about this, the call for sensibility is one that all men should acknowledge. Signed, His Grace, Demetrius Tuvya var Ruthern, Duke of Vidaus, Count of Metterden, Baron of Rostig, Lord of Helmholtz, Lord-Patriarch of House Ruthern, Lord Chancellor and Palatine of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska.

Slothtastic 761 Share Posted November 16, 2018 “**** you. You all forget that it was the Empire who killed your princess, and then carved the child from her stomach. Only to bury her in a garden. Yet, you seem perfectly fine with this. Empire lacks honor. Something we cannot abide by.” A Satyr speaks on the subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicant 642 Share Posted November 17, 2018 “Foolish as it is, you appeal to those of Canonist leanings within the walls-- but such a thing is the very reason we fight today. Haense breathed down our necks, raised laws that rallied for pagans to be burnt at the stake. Our people have long desired to be free of the yoke of those who would lash them to crosses and burn them alive. Or did you forget that law? The people did not.” “I thought you would know better, my nephew. To appeal to the people like this, when the people are the one who brought this on...is foolish. I remember defending you and your friends when you were young, standing against all odds...and this is how my graciousness is repaid? With a calling for a denouncement of our leadership? Of me? Shame, young Shark. Shame.” Karyssmov murmurs as he reads over the paper, his eyes full of sorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axelu 4333 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Aleksandra vas Ruthern pored over her father’s letter with mild interest whilst he penned it, the babe rooted on his lap- A sullen expression cast over her endearingly cherubic visage, her tentative gaze captivated further by the flames darting shadows over the confines of the study.

Gallic 1066 Share Posted November 17, 2018 “Ye had tha gall to say this while Haense’s men were burnin’ our homes an’ killing our children while our soldiers were out defendin’ Nordengrad?” Gwion, the ‘leadership’ mentioned, scoffs in comment.

Wulfery 832 Share Posted November 17, 2018 “With a calm grin on his lips, Sigtrygg would keep his hands by fire, whilst hearing about the informations. Smoking rooftops of few buildings were already being mended, and yet, blind man seemed not troubled.” Stench of war is a pleasing one. We have felt it in past as kin of Gorund, we shall feel it in future too many times. Now... we have been attacked, stabbed in the back by our own liege, who without a warning, without a proper call decided to well... simply slaughter all who live or lived within our town. I do not say that I won’t understand it. Neither will I say that it’s something that I didn’t expect. For war comes many times, and many times it will pass. Let calm times after war give birth to new generation. Yet. I expected this much more from a child of golden crow. Interesting times are yet to come. And as Gorund has spokes to us many times in past... “Death we await with pride. For Glory in battle awaits, as death means only part of the cycle that never ends. We shall feast and cheerish from halls of our gods, watch those who survive.” “Craddling his spear carefuly he would nod only once, before patting Karyssmovs arm.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one breath the pagan diabolist will claim innocence and persecution, yet in the next bind demons for nefarious causes, then in the next produce monstrosities, and then in the next abuse those, and sacrifice any life he can get his hands on for personal gain. Please do not believe anything the Arberranger, or any pagan for that matter, says, for they are all complicit in viciously dark practices.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was killed because nobody was there” says Siegmund “From what I hear, there were two kids, a citizen, an’ me, except I was already in a great, unshakeable torpor.” Gwion retorts, 5 minutes ago, Chimp said: So much for nation status in 7.0 “Oh an’ a bunch of raiders, too. I guess they’d count as souls if, say, the Skygods gazed upon us as a lump sum of all activity.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
